It's a GT... I like the little red Alfa behind it in the pic! I wish I could get some of those headlight covers for mine, but the italian idiots changed the sheetmetal around the headlights around 1981 or 82.

You can still get 'em and make it really close. I saw that photo early this AM, and thought about that Spider all day.
EDIT: I posted nothing because I'm not "conversant" with the V8 cars.

Using your Jedi mind tricks now Doc?
Oh, and I never want to work on a V-anything again! I'm sticking with inlines from now on... Unless I find a nice Ferrari, or Delorean, or V12 Jag...
... I'm in it up to here ^ Ain't I doc? Crap! I'll have to redo a whole v-16 to get turned off by fancy engines... and even then??????

You'd win Doc... I'd love to get my mits on one of those beasts.
And I could be pulled away from just about anything to get my mits on the Bugatti Veyron (VW) W-16... I just want all the needed tools... That's my most frustrating thing.... I always have to buy new tools to work on the next one.

Well, about the same for the basic shipping, but then there is the cost for transport from wherever it is in the UK to the port, possible storage charges there while it waits for its ship to come in, fees charged by your shipper, insurance, duty, customs, "handling" charges on this end, and shipment from the port to wherever you are in the USA. Figure $1200-1500. Not really bad at all, unless you're thinking of bringing in a car costing less than $5000 in the first place -- then it begins to look like a lot.

I dropped mine at the port & flew to Bayonne, New Jersey to pick it up....good thing I did the insurance as they left the sunroof open for about a week!

Doc, some yahoo opened it to drive off the ship & it wouldn't close because they said the battery was dead...I had to get jumped off to move it (funny, the lights came on when we started it)....some idiot in Europe or on the ship or in Bayonne were playing with things....
kinda like the kid who valet parks your car - first thing he does to move it 500feet is change the radio station & toss the volume as high as it'll go!
